Herbed Cheese Spread

Hi, I'm the writer of the recipe. We like this spread with 2 medium-size cloves, but if you have concerns or if you're using large cloves, start with less, the cheese's flavors will intensify overnight. You always can add more garlic if it suits you. ***12.20.18 UPDATE*** Instead of crackers, spread some cheese down the middle of a piece of salami, and roll up into a cone. Nice for an appetizer tray or snack board.

FABULOUS! I will never buy that overly expensive Boursin cheese from the store again...this was even better, and super simple to make too!!!! Thanks, lutzflcat, for sharing such a wonderfully delicious recipe! :)

Update: The garlic in this recipe is overpowering by the next day... Should cut the amount by half or more...

I didn't have vermouth so I substituted Red Wine Vinegar. Came out awesome!

This was very easy to make and everyone loved it!!

This spread is really yummy on crackers! I enjoyed having a homemade version of such an expensive cheese.

VERY GOOD

I made this to use in the recipe for Baked Cod with Boursin Cheese, also on this site, subbing this recipe for the Boursin Cheese. I made half of the recipe as written, which was plenty to coat the top of two fish filets. In fact I had a little leftover which was great on crackers. This is a snap to put together and one that I’ll definitely make again! Thanks lutzflcat!

Had no vermouth, so used heavy whipping cream. Two cloves of garlic may be too strong. May cut back to one clove next time. I ground the dry herbs with the salt before adding them to make the pieces smaller. Tastes great, and a lot like the Boursin spreads I paid a fortune for at Christmas!

Wow! This tastes just like Boursin! I did add just one clove garlic and subbed sherry for vermouth. My only question is this. Why is Boursin so expensive? This is my new “French” cheese.

I ? this! I make some version of it every week. A pinch of this; a pinch of that, and it's whipped together in a few minutes. Way better and less expensive than the premade stuff. I use garlic powder instead of fresh cloves, also a little onion powder and white pepper. The dried herbs vary with my mood.
